This cameo is stunning! The carving is exquisite, and the colors of the natural shell are the perfect complement to the Art Deco era mounting we've set this vintage stone into, crafted of white gold and pierced filigree, simply exquisite!
Cameo is the art of carving a layered material, creating a portrait or landscape with a difference in colors. While traditionally done in shell, banded onyx has been used in cameo work - particularly in Greece and Italy - for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
